I might buy a Dell laptop as a first step, and dump Microshaft Windows XP on my current Thinkpad when they start announcing no more support for it.
Vista is not an option. Ever.
I don’t know......... this *might* get me to buy a laptop if I could get a major manufacturer with one pre-loaded.
Though I think that when it came time I would still not buy a pre-fab. I really just want to build a laptop from scratch.
